Optimist Club of Alma |
Since 1972 |
Purposes of Optimist International
To develop optimism as a philosophy of life utilizing the tenets of the Optimist Creed; to promote an active interest in good government and civic affairs; to inspire respect for the law; to promote patriotism and work for international accord and friendship among all people; to aid and encourage the development of youth, in the belief that the giving of one’s self in service to others will advance the well-being of humankind, community life and the world.
Canadian Children's Optimist Foundation
Founded in 1988, the Canadian Children's Optimist Foundation is a Canadian charity recognized by the Canada Revenue Agency. For the foundation, the 2010-2011 Optimist year is a hinge since it officially took the reins of its destiny. Showing its independence in relation to the American Foundation, the vast majority of administrative activities are now managed from the office of Optimist International Canada in Montreal, QC Canada.
JOOI Clubs
Youth Clubs, known as JOOI clubs are sponsored by the adult Optimist clubs. They have an independent structure from the Optimist club, inthat they make their own decisions and have their own board of directors. They also have separate programs, and the newsletter The Torch is entirely designed for them.
Optimist Programs
Optimist International is recognized for its quality programs, including its public speaking contest, essay writing, and communication for the hearing impaired competitions. These scholarships offer young people the opportunity to measure up to themselves while allowing them to pursue postsecondary education.

Our Optimist Club
Our Optimist Club is composed of dynamic, motivated individuals who use their life skills to benefit their community’s needs, especially the needs of our youth. As creative people, we constantly seek innovative ways to help our neighbors.
Our club enjoys autonomy, elects its Board of Directors and therefore has the opportunity to take the necessary decisions concerning arising issues. This authority also allows us to create and implement programs specific to the needs of youth in our community. We are then able to organize fundraisers that will help the community’s youth.
